Eco Struggle

Eco Struggle is a quick digital board game for two local players in which Nature tries to resist The City’s never-ending expansion! Use cleverly your 12 tiles to defeat your opponent in a battle of wits! Developed in 48 hrs for Global Game Jam 2022.

In 2.090 Nature is almost extinct, while The City is rapidly burning all of their resources on a never ending expansion. This is the final clash between The City and Nature! Can the City colonize and incorporate the whole planet or will Nature resist and retake back what was theirs?


Use the mouse to select the tiles in your supply and click on one of the available highlighted spot on the board to place it down.

• Each player chooses one of the two sides. The player who controls The City is the starting player.
• Each player starts the game with 12 tiles in their supply, 4 for each level from 1 to 3.
• On their turn, players must pick up a tile from their supply and place it on a space on the board, either A) empty or  B) occupied by an opponent’s tile. They now occupy that space.
  • A) Players can place one tile on an empty space only if said space is adjacent to their home tiles and/or it is adjacent to another of their tiles already on the board.
  • B) Players can place one tile on a space occupied by the opponent if said space is adjacent to another of their tiles already on the board of the same level of the tile they are placing AND said space is occupied by a tile of a level equal or lower to the tile they are placing. If the action is valid, the player will gain 1 Victory Point.

•  Players get 1 Victory Point for each of their tiles on the board adjacent to the opponent’s  home tiles.
•  The game ends when each player has placed all of their tiles. The player with the most Victory Points is declared the Winner. In case of a tie, the player who controls Nature is the Winner.
•  If, at any time, one player can’t place a tile on the board, they lose the game.
